I feel note taking is a effective reading strategy. I could easily apply note taking to my nonfiction study. I agree that texting and driving is dangerous but i think cops are going to have trouble proving that someone was texting. -NS

//Reading the questions first then going back to the text to read, helps finding the correct answers. I could look up words that are unfamiliar to me so i will have a better understanding of the text, along with foreshadowing. I agree that texting while driving is dangerous but i feel police officers will have trouble catching people do it, and eventually people will find a way around it. -CC//

//I think the reading strategies were effective; they kept me involved with the article and helped me get a deeper understanding. To my own studies I could look up more words if I don’t know the meaning and not just guess using context clues. I defiantly agree with the article that it should be illegal to text and drive, because unlike a phone call it requires you to look at the phone while texting. -SVM//

I feel that makeing notes on the side are a very healpfull reading strategie becuse it kept me focused on reading and it helped me remember some of the things that I read. To help me read better I could add sticky notes where I feel important information is. Information that i agree with is that texting should be illegal becuse it is dangerious. However i feel that it should not be right for a officer to pull you over if they think they see you texting.

//I think that that taking notes would be very effective. Taking notes is something that I could apply to my own nonfiction story. I agree that something needs to be about texting while driving.//
